I do find his playstyle super fun and enables me to be mega aggressive which I really love. Often I preform super well with him, most picks, damage, etc and also most value like blocking the only path of a single enemy and forcing their deaths. I can also be aggressive against healers in the back when the tank won't die.

Though, sometimes I feel like I can't do anything with him. Despite, even then, playing super well, I still can't win. I'm not that deep into the metaphysics of the game but basically some tanks are better for creating space, some for pushing in, dive, etc. I'm not too sure which area he is weak in but I think under those circumstances I just can't help MY TEAM.

So, what rank are you and what do you think of him. What are his hard counters, and weaknesses and can I just 1 trick him?

Hi, not sure if this is the right subreddit but it’s happening so often that in dumbfounded.

I main Mauga - sometimes Hog or Rein if necessary and I have consistently hit Diamond for the past few years (this season included) but I’m completely unable to deal with Junker Queen. I think I won maybe 10 games against her overall and all of them were painful - but I seem to constantly lose against her.

I can’t hit my primary attack, can’t hit both miniguns, can’t land stomp on her, going for her backlane is a death sentence for my team - or she gives her team so much bonus HP that I can’t burst them out in a reasonable time. Her Ultimate seems to always hit me even through walls. Yet I don’t think I can “waste” a ban on her.

I beg you - tell me - how do you deal with Junker Queen? Tried playing as her but I hated the gameplay and in matchups against Mauga I get clapped

Almost all of my matches in emerald the enemy team has multiple former (like a season or two ago) gms and top 500s/champ players. Every game is a huge stomp, and idk what I am meant to do really. It is not fun at all, but almost every match I have played for the last week has just been "plats/emeralds vs some emeralds and two gm+ players who stomp all game".

Title, I don't want to to fail in the same doomerism many people have fallen into, but I struggle to figure out what I am supposed to do with this rework.

Before the rework, I knew I could rely on him for when my team was getting dominated by a mobile hero. Now those same mobile heroes I used to easily deal with are laughing in my face whenever I hook them before using any of their CDs and getting away.

What I want to know is, if dealing with those mobile characters is not his niche now, then what is ? Because of the kills I have gotten it feels less like a consequence of skill on my part and more like a mistake on my enemy, like hooking a squishy at 70% or so health that didn't get heals fast enough from his team nor took cover until he got healed.

Do I brawl now ? What do I do ? And why should I pick him over any of the other tanks that are better at getting into the enemy face ? Because of the new kit right now hook feels like the worse part of him now.

I am aware I am more than likely the problem, but hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction

Recently I downloaded overwatch to play with some friends in higher ranks, but over the past week I've been fluctuating between bronze 2 and bronze 3. I currently main hanzo, at first I knew that I had to work on aim first so I used VAXTA to help with aim. I still average around 20 percent accuracy. However I believe I get decent stats throughout my games, but I feel stuck and its demotivating to think I'm only in bronze while my friends are in gold/ plat. Is there anything I should implement in my playstyle.

This is my most recent game ( I did lose sadly)

Any advice would mean alot thanks for listening

Hi everyone!

I’m currently D3/D2 and I’ve been struggling in really fast paced lobbies in higher ranked.

In Emerald/low Diamond lobbies, I generally feel pretty comfortable. I can control space, play aggressively and generally feel like I’m controlling the pace of the game.

But once I get into higher Diamond / Masters-level lobbies, it feels like I suddenly get cooked.

This game was an Emerald 1 → Champ 5 lobby, so obviously I know I was punching above my rank lol. But I don't want to be the liability in these games anymore!

The biggest difference I notice is that I die WAY faster. My shields disappear faster, I get punished almost immediately for being slightly out of position, and I feel like I can’t take the same amount of space that I normally would.

What’s confusing me is that I don’t feel like I’m suddenly playing terribly. It’s more like the pacing of the lobby is so much faster that my usual Sigma habits stop working.

I’d appreciate any advice that might be able to help!

Here is the game code for the Emerald -> Champ if you'd like to watch: PSYVR1
